CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
NEVER LEAVE TOASTER UNATTENDED!
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the rating of the toaster. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
